Beyond Skinwalker Ranch

First of all, Andy Bustamante is a hack. He was on the Shawn Ryan show and spent three hours talking about nothing. He was introduced as retired Air Force which he is Not retired! He got out without fulfilling qualifications for retirement. Retirement=pension, at least get that part right, Paul.

Paul Beban is frankly a terrible host, he really adds no value to the show what so ever. He's in the background like a mushroom, staring blankly at the camera.

Their equipment always seems to fail and the key moments and sorry, dude, you're in a fricken desert, there's a lot of heat! The use the gamma cam, and genius Paul says "where there's Radon, there's probably Uranium". Geez, Paul, you are officially an idiot. There is ZERO correlation between the presence of Radon and the presence of Uranium. Radon frequently travels through the ground water, so smoke doesn't necessarily mean fire.

The whole thing is so obviously staged, it's painful to watch and takes so much away from the original show.

Hard pass. It's another Oak Island, endless drama about nonsense.

I started studying paranormal and ufos many years ago. With an open mind honestly leaning neither way. After about 2 years I knew this stuff is real! This show is a scientific approach as it tries to figure this out. To many people have died to keep this secret. As well as the death bed confessions of high ranking retired military tell the same thing! No I haven't never seen a UFO or alien. But I KNOW THEYEXIST!! Please do your own research if you are interested in the subject. As of now many great true stories from credible people are on YouTube, yes another of videos are cgi.. just listen to the people stories.

They really had to pull out from Mount Wilson Ranch for their potential discovery of Manta Ray. Black suvs showed up, and I remember the group discussing that in season 2. It looks like it really happened. So much progress had been made there, and it is frustrating after putting so much work. I sensed back then that it's done deal in there after Travis & Brandon also saw it coming. Carl Crusher also booted out of the place when I saw he also reluctant to discuss it in his vlog. I was really eager to know more about that place, but it is just sad that Gatekeepers showed up and buried the project.

This show is not the same as SOSW. I generally enjoy shows like this, particularly SOSW. Andy Bustamante is just plain irritating. Both hosts just seem to be trying way too hard to take the show seriously and have developed use of trying to coin sophomoric phrases like "high strangeness" which in itself is hard to take seriously. Not surprisingly, on this show, they immediately have success finding abnormalities, and also not surprisingly, using much more modern equipment than their sister show, SOSW. These exceptionally more modern experiments would be more exciting on the original show.

I like the concept of exploring other sites that experience UFO-like abnormalities, but this show falls too short. Perhaps a new set of hosts and a less rushed pace. When Travis makes appearances on the show, even he has a "ahhh, sigh" look on his face when dealing with these guys. Do yourselves a favor and stick to the original show.

The pseudoscience, the stilted expository conversations and performative amazement. It's as cringeworthy as you'd imagine. Particularly because it's not a parody. This show is delivered as though the work is sober and rigorous. Disco lasers "adding energy" to the environment... "This blob is an interference pattern"... These grown adults grasp each flicker from their instruments, turn it into a quirky hypothesis and then leap to scientific certainty, all while proclaiming to be skeptical and serious-minded.

Maybe it sells, to some audiences. But, to anyone with any exposure to physics, audio, science, data analysis, or just common sense, you're in for a rough time.

In a nutshell, adults behave like imaginative kids who just got new toys, except with no humour.
